Thank you to everyone who came to watch the harvest assemblies this week. The children had worked very hard learning the words and actions to numerous songs and sang them wonderfully on both days.

We would also like to say a huge thank you to everyone that contributed towards the harvest collection. Pastor Eric Simpson will be collecting all the produce which will be donated to support local causes and families.

Thank you to all the parents who came and joined our Active'Eat-Y Club with Sarah from Active Fusion. The club runs every Thursday after school and is open to years 1 and 2. During the session children get to join in some fun and active games plus enjoy healthy foods and treats! We thought it would be great for parents to come and see what happens and join in!

This is our attendance bear, who is new to the Academy. He is starting in September and will be visiting classes with great attendance. However he's been a bit sad, as up until now he didn't have a proper name. So we asked all of our children to come up with a great name for a great bear. Do you know we gots loads and loads of great ideas, so many we couldn't decide and had to draw one from a hat!

Our final week in the academy is jammed packed full of exciting experiences for all our children. Today was our Teddy Bears Picnic. Everyone brought in their favourite teddy bear to school (whether it was a dinosaur, polar bear, minion, kitten or even rat!) to join them for a day of fun.

Sarah from our Active Eaty club (which will be running for year 1 children again next year) started the afternoon off with lots of different activities for the children to join in with. They could make bear a hat, design the

After weather postponed our sports day on Wednesday, we finally got to compete on Friday. The children had a fantastic morning joining in with various activities set up by the staff and students from Active Fusion. The whole school was given a trophy for a great morning of sport!

As part of our multicultural week, each class has been learning about a different country; sampling food, speaking their language and even taking part in traditional song and dance!

Thandi from Doncaster Arts came to work with the children to teach them all about South Africa. Thandi can speak 11 different languages!!! He helped the children learn a traditional Zulu song and dance which the whole school performed together at the end of the day!

For E Safety Day across all key stages, we read Smartie the penguin. A story about a penguin who receives a laptop for Christmas. He has a song wich reminds him to keep safe on the Internet: 'Before you click, click, click, you'd better think, think, think ...and tell someone"

Year 2 also designed some e-safety posters as reminders for the rest of the school, some great examples below!
